is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements-in moisture proof.packages and is peculiarly applicable to packages of tobacco in which the moisture proof lWrapping must be of such nature and so arran ed thatthe internal revenue stam will opening the pac age and yet attachedv to the inner container which actually holds the tobacco. A j

l In the drawing Figurel isa 4perspective view of -my improved package and'Fig. l2 a sectional view on theline 22 of Fig. 1.

The inner box lactually containing the tobacco has the stampjQ pasted over the joint so that on opening the box the stamp will be destroyed.

The carton 3, preferably 0I waxed cardboard to aid the waterproof qualities of thel completed package, has an aperture 4 cut therein in register-with the stamp 2. The carton is used to protect the inner box which e visible without 4is usually highly ornamented and to assist in making the package moisture proof. An outer Wrapping of moisture proof transparent paper 5 4is finally employed to Wrap the carton vand its inclos'ed boX and is sealed at the ends so that the hygroscopic qualities of the tobacco will remain unchanged for long periods of time. The stamp, attached Kto the actual container,'is thus at all times visible under the single layer of transparent paper through the opening 4 in thecarton. he tobacco is thus prevented from either drying out in dry weather or absorbing moisture in wet weather and is preserved in its original condition indefinitely.

I claim p In a oisture proof packagean inner container, a stamp thereon, acarton surrounding the innercontainer on all sides provided with an aperture the same size as and registering with the stamp xand an outer Wrapper of` transparent Waterproof material through which the stam is visible.

In testimony whereo I .have affixed my signature-in presence of-two witnesses.
